New Getter Robo (Japanese title 新ゲッターロボ, Shin Getta Robo") is an original video animation released in 2004 by Bandai Visual, based on the manga and anime series Getter Robo, created by Go Nagai and Ken Ishikawa. The series, however, owes much more to the manga than the 1970s animated adaptation, with designs closer to those of Nagai's original art, and some scenes lifted directly from the manga. It is a remake of the original story with heavy variations, of which the protagonists must battle against mysterious creatures called the Oni.
Plot
An alternate retelling of the Getter Robo story, it begins with Dr. Saotome, who seeks extraordinary men to pilot his invention - the Getter Robo. Many who have tried to pilot it have died, and his son, Tatsuhito, was seriously injured during a Getter battle. He finds three men to pilot the Getter Robot: Ryoma Nagare, Hayato Jin, and Benkei Musashibou. Now they must battle and destroy the Oni, mysterious creatures that appeared suddenly which happen to resemble the monsters from mythology.
